hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Hey guys!
Wow today is the last day of my holidays, and i felt like blogging haha :D
The holidays have been sooo relaxing, as well as being productive surprisingly. Its been jam packed from the start to the end, and I am not too pumped for startign school haha!! i dunno why some of my friends actually can't wait to start school.... hmmmmmmmmmmmm

Well I was doing my 'quiet time', and this topic came into my head, and I felt liek sharing it.
I dunno wat the name for it is, so thats why the title of this post is 'hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm' haha!!

But I wonder what we do when we are stressed, or simply bored? Do we watch tv? Do we kill noobs on our computer game? Or do we read or listen to music? Well I dunno wat u do, but me, I probably killed noobs on my computer game. All these things are satisfying, but how long does that satisfaction last for? - not that long.

After you kill a noob, u feel like killing another one, then another and etc... Its almost like cigarettes or caffeine; you need more and more to be satisfied. I assume you probably know all this, or heard of it before, but the sheer purpose of this post is to remind us all that God satisfies our every hunger and thirst, and you'll never need anymore again.

I'm not just saying this cause its a fact, but I am saying this cause I've experienced it myself. When I spend tiem with God, it gives me this never-ending peace and joy in my heart- which I obviously don't get from killling noobs :)

Well anyway, God is GREAT!! I am not pumped for starting school to be honest, But I AM pumped for God to do GREATER things this year! Woot!! My equation:

Greater steps of faith = God doing GREATER things in your life!! booyaH!!


Bye shucks I got school tomorrow haha

Everything

Hi guys!
I think this is my first post in Malaysia so far.
Lately, I been so busy that I really cant remember wat happened. I'll just highlight some main points:

(Btw just to warn u now, if u dun wanna read all of this, skip everything up to ‘New years resolutions”- tat is the most important bit :D )

Christmas:
I spent Christmas in Malaysia this year, which was quite different, as I am usually in Melbourne at that time of the year. haahh Malaysian people don't really celebrate Christmas too much- the end :)

Singapore!
I went to Singapore for the new year, to meet up with my cool cousins and relatives :D
We did so much stuff: from swimming, to annoying random old men, to even sharing our 'made up depression' with an innocent fast-food employee; what didn’t we do?

Penang!
For the last 4 days, I was in Penang with some of the Fungusoids. We stayed right next to the beach, so it was really cool!
Some stuff we did:
eat lah!
Jet-ski/parasailing
Swimming
more eat lah!
Crazy bargaining at pasa-malam.

heheheh i just came back today, and I am seriously cant wait to sleep again! loL!! Many days of sleep deprivation doesnt work out for me... :D

NEW YEARs RESOLUTIONS!

The word 'New Years Resolutions' could seem like a complete joke to some people- they never seem to be followed.

I don't really set any real 'new years resolutions, but rather I set goals when I feel like I need to, and they just come to me.

Well lately, I been thinking of what I want to achieve this year. I came up with this: for God to REALLY be the CENTER of my EVERYTHING.

I look back over the year, and it appears that I have met my own goals (thankfully!)
I know it is a really hard thing to keep God in the center of everything we do, all the time. I know I may not achieve it all this year, but I want to get a start on it, and see a change in my life.

Influence from friends or even the world can falter us from putting God FIRST in whatever we do, so it is quite a big struggle for many of us.

The song 'Everything' by Tim Hughes really made me wonder what it would be like for God the be our 'everything'.

Tim Hughes Everything Lyrics
Songwriters: N/A

God in my living
There in my breathing
God in my waking
God in my sleeping

God in my resting
There in my working
God in my thinking
God in my speaking

Be my everything
Be my everything
Be my everything
Be my everything

God in my hoping
There in my dreaming
God in my watching
God in my waiting

God in my laughing
There in my weeping
God in my hurting
God in my healing

Christ in me
Christ in me
Christ in me the hope of glory
You are everything

Christ in me
Christ in me
Christ in me the hope of glory
Be my everything

Honestly, I am really pumped for the new year, cause I wanna see God more even more in my life this year! Woot!!

Cya and God bless!

Oh yah, remember the Fungus Motto “God in the center of all we do” – see how important it is? :D

A lifestyle

Hi peeps! Wow Christmas is just around the corner, and the year has gone by so quickly! I will be going back to Malaysia on the 23rd (Tuesday), so this will probably be my last blog here in Melb for the year lol.

Apart from that, this thought of 'Christianity as a lifestyle' has been popping into my head tonnes lately. I know all these things we learn in church may seem perhaps 'obvious' or you may understand it already. That is good for a start, but look at applying it to your life; do you live it out? That is the most crucial part of all that teaching, or its utterly useless.

You may have heard this a million times already, about Christianity being a lifestyle, but all I really want you to take out of this is to make sure that your faith really is your lifestyle.

It saddens me how many times we hear messages at Church, and when the week progresses on, we seem to have completely forgotten all that stuff. We can't be 'Friday or Sunday Christians'; we have to behave in a consistent manner. If we only appear to be 'good' on certain days (perhaps when church is), I could hardly consider you a Christian. I myself need to closely watch everything I do, and make sure it reflects my faith.

When I say 'being a lifestyle', I mean that obeying Christ should be part of our 'second nature' or something like that; meaning that we should be so used to doing good works, that it is a habit.

Don't be a 'Friday Christian, be an 'everyday Christian'! Booyah!

hehe woah the weather forecast recently has been really un-reliable; but thats Good! So looks like the weekend is gonna be ok weather for once! :)

Cya! Keep on shining for God!

Unfailing love

Hiya guys =)

Before u read on, put ur speakers on full blast- i updated my playlist again hhaha.

I am sure we are often annoyed at when others let us down, and even if we let ourselves down at times. Of what I know of, there is only one person that I am sure will never let us down- that is God.

“There has not failed one word of all His good promise.” - 1 Kings 8:56

I still remember all the times that I endured mega-stress or worry. I was thinking it was nearly impossible to go through those situations and still have a positive outcome. I needed a miracle for things to work out well, and I got a miracle. Countless times, I was so stuffed, and I didn’t even notice that everything up to today has gone smoothly. I always put my trust and hope in God, and he has never failed me; his love is unfailing.

Every situation I was so worried about, God hid me safely under his comforting wings. He has NEVER EVER failed me- and I am sure about that. I was too worried that I didn’t even notice I was ok, and I really want to take this opportunity to give all the glory to God. He does indeed keep his promises. I just want to say, put ALL your faith and trust in God, and you definitely won’t regret it. Don’t doubt if he can pull you through the toughest of times, for it is pure faith that drives miracles. Try it, it works!

Oh yeh, for those who don’t read the bible much, I really recommend that you do. Because this verse says that God keeps his promises, so you would generally need to be aware of what his promises actually are before you will receive any of them. Know what God promises in your life, and claim them with faith.

Hope you are learning stuff from my blog =) Cya!

The Core of Christianity

Heya guys!
Haha i've noticed that I am starting to blog way less than I originally did haha. At one point I blogged more than once a day! =o !

(btw i forgot if i already blogged about this. Well if i did, i may aswell do it again ^^ )
This is what we live for; what we hope to achieve- it is the core of Christianity. Personally, I believe that, as Christians, it doesnt really matter how 'pure and sin-less' we are at the current state. When I say that, I dont mean its ok to be constantly full of sin, cause at one point, everyone was a sinner.

Christianity is all about change- transforming into a more mature and obedient person. This is called spiritual growth. Spiritual stagnance is something we should really hope not to have. Each and every day should be an opportunity for us to get closer to God. Of couse this will not happen if we do not constantly seek him, and have a desire to grow deeper in faith.

Nearly all my years of my life, I was hardly growing matured at all. Even up to 13, I was still as childish as a little kid. I may have mentioned this before, but my walk with God suddenly took off at hardcore pace when I started to go to Fungus and serve in sunday school ministry. That was about when I was 14. Two years later, I can gladly say that I am still seeking God with a burning passion, this time brighter.

Man that kidshaper song 'fly' keeps popping into my head. I wanna fly. I seriously do. I want to lift in faith and touch the sky. I want to go deeper than I have before. I wanna soar; I wanna fly!

Well I am gonna go sleep now! Christmas is coming soon! woot!

God bless!

=)

Woah! so much has happened so far on the holidays! A couple of birthdays, and other stuff I dun even remember anymore! haha!

Birthdays:

Happy 16th Birthday Darren!

Happy 18th Birthday Alvin!

Happy 15th Birthday Nessa!

Happy 15th Birthday Lin Li!

shucks did i miss anyone out? tada! its time for facebook birthday reminder! yay!

Oh yeh and happy 16th Birthday Harold in a few days time!


Weekend!

I gotta say the weekend was really busy. On friday I think I played soccer with some Fungus peeps. Oh yeh and poor Shaun had to watch us cause he is a cripple! xD

Sunday had to be my randomest day ever!
K firstly, we had church in the morning, and for some reallly realllllly weird reason, my bro thought it started at 10:30 instead of 9.30. lol so we waited for him to sleep for another hour, then we went to church :S !!! I walked into X-Cite one hour late, and luckily I didn't recieve too much beatings from the Kids pastor!!! *phew*!! yeh soz I was late :)

Church sermon!
I discovered something on Sunday- that taking notes during the message is really good! So i did :) The message was on the topic of Hope. It may seem un-important, but I realized how vital it is in Christianity. I learnt a couple of things:

Hope in todays terms is something like ‘possibility’. You say you ‘hope’ something will happen, but you are not exactly sure.

Hope in the bible’s terms is definite assurance. It clearly states that if you put your hope and trust in God, you will not be disgraced. I took notes of some bible passages too:

Psalms 146:5

"How blessed is he , whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord his God."

This says that if you put ur hope in God, you are secure and safe.

After Church:

After Church on Sunday, I decided to lose some weight and go running with the fit people at Rufly Lake Park. I think we ran something like 5km, and I gotta say it was pretty fun! I was ahead of the pack at first, then I pulled back. Hahha! Isaac (the tank) still overtook us, even though he took the longer route by! Woah!

Even after that mega long day, my bro and I invited some peeps over, so we kinda didn’t getta rest till midnight, but I wasn’t tired hehhe

This week is gonna be cool lol. On Friday I am going to Hamroll’s party, then playing soccer in the rain afterwards. Christmas is coming soon woot! On Sunday there is carols by glowstick-light at church! Hahah thats gonna be cool !

Anyway i gonna go for now. Cya guys!
