One Big Scary

You know whats a scary thing? God's discipline. That is one big scary piece of pill to swallow. Like... man. When you ask God to discipline you right...its soo hard okay. He puts you in all kinds of situations and because you're such an imperfect person, you dont react to them in a proper and/or Godly manner. And it hurts people and it puts you into such fixes and man o man is it ever tiring and unmentionably irritating. And the thing is....you know you got to keep working at it and yea, you cant ever give up even though its like the easiest way out.... cos like once you start slacking, you slip away and you lose all the "Godliness" that you've obtained/learnt throughout all these hard disciplining sessions. And when you finally wake up (that is if you ever!) and remove your rose-tinted sunglasses....its discouraging to see the amount of damage that has been done and to see how much you've fallen and yea...how much further you're getting away from being a Godly person and thus being a person that lives in obedience to God's word.

Like personally, lately..... I can see so much work that needs to be done to repatch my life up. Im honestly not looking forward to all the work because changing yourself is such a long and arduous process and even though God gets you through in the end, its so much work at the present. But yea I know the rewards far surpasses the deeds not only for myself but for the poor people around me that has to put up with all my rubbish.

I think Im feeling so discouraged now cos Im tired. I think tommorow I'll prolly be happier and more energetic and I know God is faithful and that together we'll get through this. Cos I could never ever do this without His help and His strength. And I don't expect to change within the next 5 months either because seriously, this whole changing business just takes absolutely forever. This is prolly why Jesus came to save us cos one lifetime aint enough time to cut it. Thank God for Jesus. :p hehe.

How Deep The Father's Love For Us

How deep the Father's love for us
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only Son
To make a wretch His treasure

How great the pain of searing loss
The Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the chosen One
Bring many sons to glory

Behold the Man upon a cross
My sin upon His shoulders
Ashamed I hear my mocking voice
Call out among the scoffers

It was my sin that held Him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished

I will not boast in anything
No gifts, no power, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection

Why should I gain from His reward?
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom

Experiment #1

Had a conversation with a friend which inspired this experiment. He didnt follow through but I did. hahah its not really an experiment.. more like... random acts of stupidity. He says this is good cos as teenagers, we usually wake up late, in time for 2 meals instead of 3. We all know breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so we have rolled two meals into one. We present to you, the Brunch 2003.

Eat cereal with soup.

I tried: Continental chicken cup soup with Uncle Toby's Sports Plus cereal.

It tastes like: Crunchy chicken soup.

Pros: You get all your essential vitamins and minerals and its more filling than just soup. It is also a fast dish, easily prepared and nice to consume during cold weather.

Cons: Raisins and chicken soup. Ugh.

Overall: Delightful. I would eat it again in a heartbeat.

Conclusion: A myriad of possibilities, one must be bold and try different combinations. Stay away from the raisiny cereals and yea...froot loops with beef soup doesnt sound too appealing either.

Hey Hey Hey Hey

We're tiny, we're toony, we're all a little loony.

Your pain is my pain.

Crux

My decisions are like the Southern Cross. It is always there, ever prominent. Sometimes, it's hard to find. Sometimes, it is confused with other constellations...the decisions of other beings, more celestial than I. When read well, it can guide a person, guide me, to the wiser end. Most times, we forget the tilt of the aiding tip and lose our way. We float amongst such wondorous beauty that we forget our destination, our past, our future. Before long, we would have traveled deeper and deeper into uncharted galaxies and in doing so become engulfed in the dense emptiness that is space. I often find myself forgetful of the tilt and when I do remember, I often dont care. It is a dangerous decision to not care. But my decisions are like the Southern Cross.

The Death of My Profiterole...

My profiterole fell on the floor
What could I say, I had no more
I felt a sadness within my soul
The death of my profiterole.

The deed was done, O woe is me
I curse the law of gravity
It robbed me of my morning's goal
The death of my profiterole.

The tray it was all mine to eat
The body soft, the insides sweet
My addiction has now taken its toll
The death of my profiterole.

O profiterole I bid Thee farewell
We've had our good times, got along so well
Dont feel neglected, you first I chose
Now welcome the birth of my Dominoes.

The Day After Yesterday

Today is the day after yesterday
The day I believed I'd have more to say
But whaddaya know its all still junk
I think I'll go eat a chocolate chunk.

-due to unexpected events, my thoughts of the day will have to be postponed-

Slee..e..p..

Hello.
Sleep is good. Havent had much sleep lately. More sleep during exam period.
Sleep makes all things beautiful.
Yesterday, I was sleeping, and my friends got back form the Hillsongs night rally and apparently they rang the bell like 3 times and apparently I got up and opened the door for them and the thing is....i didnt remember any of that!!? Like this morning thanked my other friend for opening the door last night and he was like...uhmm....you opened it....
Like..... . o_0;

Got a guitar cable from friends yesterday. Happiness. Play guitar till eyes dropped out. Play guitar till heart dropped out. Play guitar till fell asleep. Sleep is good. It is good to sleep.

zz..Z..z....z...

blog doesnt allow you to post images . . . :( *wahh* ;.;

Hillsongs

The Hillsongs "Shout God's Fame" Conference has finally started, with the "grand" opening last night. Three of my friends are attending it... its pretty good apparently. Another friend and I are just bumming at home. Hahahaha pure joy. We fed some ducks today!! Yay. :p

Anyways, yea a whole bunch of us met up and attended last night's concert at the Sydney Superdome. It was PACKED!! And there were people from all over Australia, a whole section from New Zealand, and a couple from other places...quite a few from America and UK too. The Kiwis were sooo cool...like the entire block of them did the Hakka-Hakka ( a traditional N.Z. dance...Im sure you must have seen the All Blacks doing it ) haha it was awesome. So yea had praise and worship and a talk and the Katinas did a performance. Their harmonising was is soo good. OH! And this guy from the crowd, he sang the American national anthem ( he's from Florida )...his voice is absolutely amazing! I was mesmerised throughout the song and even after he had gone back to his seat....I couldnt get over it. God must have been in an excellent mood when He made this guy's voice! I was so impressed I even felt patriotic just listening to him sing. Man. . . .

Im so so so so SO happy that my friends managed to come over and that we get to do cool stuff like this together. I've said it before and I'll say it again; I am TRULY blessed!!!!

Beacon@Sydney?

Hehehe... a whole bunch of my friends are over for the holidays. All of them I met ages ago at our little Malaysian church back in Bangsar. All of us have come to Australia to study....the two guys are from Canberra, the two girls from Melbourne. Yea its so cool cos having them over is like having a mini-BGC camp. So nice! I didn't think I would ever feel this way again till I went back in Dec but awwwrgh!! This is just the best ever... and today we went to church together and they got along soOoo well with each other I was so happy. Yep... theres really nothing like good friends and theres really nothing like good OLD friends cos you know so much about them already that everything fits comfortably.. like you dont get weird surprises about them and you especially dont manage to offend them cos we know which areas to tread and which to avoid. But new friends are cool too cos you learn lots of new things. Yea... so... sight seeing Sydney but I feel like Im home. Life is seriously grand. So grand.

Independance Day

" Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world, and you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind. "Mankind"... that word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interest. Perhaps it's fate that today is the Fourth of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom -- not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution, but from annihilation. We're fighting for our right to live, to exist. And should we win today, the Fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day when the world declared in one voice, "we will not go quietly into the night, we will not vanish without a fight... We're going to live on! We're going to survive! Today, we celebrate... our Independence Day!!! "
President Thomas J. Whitmore
(taken from the movie Independance Day)

Well....its not really the 4th of July yet but yea....this is exactly how I felt after exams. Which would be ... now. Isn't life grand?? ;)
