Lol?

UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE

I received this e-mail and thought that I should share it here.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Breakfast at McDonald's
This is a good story and is true, please read it all the way through until the end! (After the story, there are some very interesting facts!)

I am a mother of three (ages 14, 12, 3) and have recently completed my college degree. The last class I had to take was Sociology. The teacher was absolutely inspiring with the qualities that I wish every human being had been graced with. Her last project of the term was called, "Smile." The class was asked to go out and smile at three people and document their reactions. I am a very friendly person and always smile at everyone and say hello anyway. So, I thought this would be a piece of cake, literally.

Soon after we were assigned the project, my husband, youngest son, and I went out to McDonald's one crisp March morning. It was just our way of sharing special play time with our son. We were standing in line, waiting to be served, when all of a sudden everyone around us began to back away, and then even my husband did. I did not move an inch... an overwhelming feeling of panic welled up inside of me as I turned to see why they had moved. As I turned around I smelled a horrible "dirty body" smell, and there standing behind me were two poor homeless men. As I looked down at the short gentleman, close to me, he was "smiling". His beautiful sky blue eyes were full of God's Light as he searched for acceptance. He said, "Good day" as he counted the few coins he had been clutching. The second man fumbled with his hands as he stood behind his friend. I realized the second man was mentally challenged and the blue-eyed gentleman was his salvation.

I held my tears as I stood there with them. The young lady at the counter asked him what they wanted. He said, "Coffee is all Miss" because that was all they could afford. (If they wanted to sit in the restaurant and warm up,they had to buy something. He just wanted to be warm). Then I really felt it - the compulsion was so great I almost reached out and embraced the little man with the blue eyes. That is when I noticed all eyes in the restaurant were set on me, judging my every action. I smiled and asked the young lady behind the counter to give me two more breakfast meals on a separate tray. I then walked around the corner to the table that the men had chosen as a resting spot. I put the tray on the table and laid my hand on the blue-eyed gentleman's cold hand. He looked up at me, with tears in his eyes, and said, "Thank you." I leaned over, began to pat his hand and said, "I did not do this for you. God is here working through me to give you hope." I started to cry as I walked away to join my husband and son.

When I sat down my husband smiled at me and said,"That is why God gave you to me, Honey, to give me hope.." We held hands for a moment and at that time, we knew that only because of the Grace that we had been given were we able to give. We are not church goers, but we are believers. That day showed me the pure Light of God's sweet love. I returned to college, on the last evening of class,with this story in hand. I turned in "my project" and the instructor read it. Then she looked up at me and said, "Can I share this?" I slowly nodded as she got the attention of the class. She began to read and that is when I knew that we as human beings and being part of God share this need to heal people and to behealed. In my own way I had touched the people at McDonald's, my husband, son, instructor, and every soul that shared the classroom on the last night I spent as a college student. I graduated with one of the biggest lessons I would ever learn:

UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE.

Much love and compassion is sent to each and everyperson who may read this and learn how to LOVE PEOPLE AND USE THINGS - NOT LOVE THINGS AND USE PEOPLE. There is an Angel sent to watch over you. In order for her to work, you must pass this on to the people you want watch over.

An Angel wrote:

Many people will walk in and out of your life,

but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart.

To handle yourself, use your head.

To handle others, use your heart..

God Gives every bird it's food,

but He does not throwit into its nest.

A Box of gold,

With a secret inside that has never been told.

This box is priceless but as I see,

The treasure inside is precious to me.

Today I share this treasure with thee,

It's the treasure of friendship you've given me.

Thats all for the email. Alot to reflect on huh? Never too late to start.. God Bless!

Happy-Belated-Merdeka

Today, I just felt like blogging though I dont know what to blog about. I know I should be studying now as trials is just round the corner.

Yesterday was Malaysia's 50th birthday. Memorable? Well, not for me. All I did was 2hours of badminton in the morning, sleep, eat, watch TV, and a little revision.

~The Emptiness of a Boring Holiday~

Time to hit the books, stay tuned for the next post.

I'm myself again!!

I'm all over her already! And I feel much different now. Who needs her when I have FRIENDS who never stop encouraging me and be there for me whenever I need help.

Special thanks to:

1. HannJiunn for helping me feel better through sports
2. Esther for waking me up from dream land
3. Terng Sheng for teaching me really effective methods to forget someone

HAHA!! I feel so myself again.

God really taught be LOTS through this painful experience I had. He also help me realised how important are friends in life. Its true that only in times of trouble and depression that you'll identify your true friends.

By the way, I finally got back my pendrive with photos from peaksheng. I'll try to upload some in the next post (gosh, I've been saying this for I-wonder-how-long-ago). Haha!

Life Still Have To Go On

Haih... Oh well, life still have to go on. Anyway, thank you for ur smile =)

Courage

I finally dug up all the courage I needed to ask her today. Hope she will agree =)

Happiness Is A State Of mind

One thing I realised is that happiness doesn't last forever. Well, happiness is only a state of mind. It also depends what kind of things do we invest our happiness it. Worldly things definitely will not last, but Godly things will last forever.

I'M VERY HAPPY TODAY!!

HAHA!! I know its already pass 'today' (5/8/07), but I'm still very HAPPY!!
Reason? Private and Confidential!! Haha!!

God is good, all the time

All the time, God is good!

Sorry

Lately, I don't feel very myself. Many things happened this week which turned out to be rather depressing.

This post is dedicated to a certain someone, whom I've hurt much this week. Sorry for all the empty promises and talks I've made. Well, I really didn't want things to turn out this way, but I didn't take enough precaution towards the external factors. All I ask for is your forgiveness.

As for the stress your going through, remember that God strengthens us by giving us more problems to solve. Read this Our Daily Bread passage for 1st August 07. It says that "God is using our pain to refine us and make us better, not bitter". Hope God will continue to guide and bless you in your services to Him.

On the other hand, I'm still waiting for PeakSheng to return my pendrive with the Japanese Dance photos. It has been more than a week since I passed him my pendrive. ZZZ... I'll upload some nice pictures soon. Until then, stay tuned!

Civilisation Is Important!

Wake up 'dude', its already the 21th centuary. It is a centuary where people use words and not fist to settle problems. Words such as please and thank you, and not swear words like **** and *******. Its no longer those days in which loudness and scary stares wins. Go join mafia or form your own gang if you still have such childish mind sets.

There are many ways to control a crowd. The first step is to analyse the situation. ALWAYS consider other's feelings. Shouting and giving orders will NOT drive people to move, well it does if your of some authority, if not? Shut The H3LL up PLEASE!! (highlight to read) Imagine other shouting at you to ask you to do something, would you like it? I bet not, but if you do, I have no comments. Always treat others with the respect you would want other to treat you with. However, if you still insist on 'helping', do consider the word 'please'. For various reasons:
1) It is polite
2) Other's will feel more respected
3) It humbles oneself to gain the respect he deserves from others.

"For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted." Luke 14:11

The Bible teaches us to forgive and forget. So I shall forgive you. As having hatred againts someone, you have already murdered that "someone" in your heart. Its obviously a sin to do so. Moreover, you are my brother-in-Christ.

Anyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life in him. 1 John 3:15

Thats all I have to say. I know I offended you. So I appologise for it. I'm not appologising for the incident, but your feelings. Thats all. As long as I know I've done the right in God's sight.

Japanese Dance

WMS Annual School Concert is round the corner, 21th July to be exact, tickets are sold out. For those who wanna see the concert, pray hard that they'll sell concert DVDs. The theme of this year's concert is Around The World With Wesleyans. Its basically many traditional dances from different countries brought together by wesleyans.

Haha! That's all for now people. Until my next post, Adios!

THE GREATEST MAN IN HISTORY

Jesus
Had no servants,
Yet they called Him Master.
Had no degree,
Yet they called Him Teacher.
Had no medicines,
Yet they called Him Healer.
Had no army,
Yet kings feared Him.
He won no military battles,
Yet He conquered the world.
He committed no crime,
Yet they crucified Him.
He was buried in a tomb,
yet He lives today.
I feel honored to serve such a Leader who loves us!

Weirdo

Today, I met a weirdo in A&W.

I was eating happily until i hear some funny noise. I turned back and saw this really big guy, tall and quite fat, wearing his pants higher then his belly button!! He was making some weird sound, something similar to cries of a retarded gorilla. He crushed a finished coke tin in his hands and washed it at the basin. After that, he washed the straw as well. Next he rinsed the inside of the tin and poured the water out carefully. After all this effort in washing the coke tin....

HE THREW IT INTO THE RUBBISH BIN!!

Wth? =.="

PBSM Broga Camp

Last weekend, Friday 29/6/07 till Sunday 1/7/07, the PBSM of WMS had its outdoor camp in Broga. Many of you know will be wondering where is Broga =P. Its somewhere in Selangor, very nearby only, about an hour and a half drive from WMS.

To be honest the preparation wasn't done well, but the outcome was good. We started the day with ice breakers. We played Egg > Chick > Chicken > Champion. After which, we had a full day of activities organised by Terng Sheng, Robin and I. Its a 3-in-1 game style, including indoor, outdoor then indoor activities.

First was the indoor activities. We gave each groups 4 situation prepared by our beloved teachers and asked them to answer it. Then we played simple activities such as Mississippi, Marching Game and The Human Machine.

For the outdoor games, we split each groups to 4 sub-groups each. Each sub-group will complete some tasks at different stations. The 4 stations tested each sub-group on different aspects including Strength, Photographic Memory, Designing Intelligences and Communication Skills. We decided not to have in the same-old-way other camps does because we want each member to know that they play an important role in helping the groups get marks for the indoor activity later on. By doing this, each individual will feel more independent rather than depending on other members on the team to get the marks.

Lastly we had the indoor games at night. Before the indoor game started, we made a market like situation where we, the facilitators were selling miscellaneous items such as paper clips, balloons, old news papers, strings, old shirts, umbrella etc to members. The points obtained by each sub-group in the previous outdoor games were summed up and each groups' total marks were calculated. The marks will then act as 'cash' to purchase the items we sell. The items purchased will then be used for a Fashion Show! I never knew PBSM members were that creative!

The second day we had a string of outdoor activities organised by the Broga people. We started off with Obstacle Course. The Broga obstacle course includes 11 different tasks. To be honest, all 11 were as easy. The hard part of this course is to help the weaker teammates in the group. In addition to that, we were given a long (approx 6ft) bamboo stick to act as out extra teammate. That stick have to go through all the courses the same way, and it cannot touch the ground. I must say that as PBSMers most of us were physically and mentally weak.

Next we had the Low Ropes and Spider Web. For the Low Ropes, its just strings tied from tree to tree and all we have to do is cross from the start to the end without touching the ground. There were 5parts in total. I felt the 4th part is the hardest among all, but overall its still a simple course. As for the spider web, its a spider-web-like structure tied with strings between 2 poles and all we got to do is transfer all the members in the group to the other side, without touching any of the strings. Sad to say we facilitators groups sucked big time in this. =(

Later in the evening we had Pond Rafting. Same like any other raftings, we had to build our own raft with bamboo sticks, barrels and raffia strings. As I already have experience in this activity, my group managed to make a stable raft. But sadly group3 made a raft more stable than ours. When we were finally done, we went rafting! Some groups' raft detached as soon as it was placed on the pond surface. It was soooo funny!!!

At night we had Talent Night. Just like any other camps, we had sketches AGAIN. But then again it really depends who is in charged of talent night for new and fresh ideas. Fortunately the talent night wasn't organised by me =). After the talent night, we had... ... ... DISCO!! You wouldn't believe it, but we actually blasted loud music with the PA system, offed the lights and danced with torch lights only. Even the teachers joined us! The effects were ok, except we only had white and yellow lights.

The last day, we went home. Don't feel like talking about the not-so-happy-things.

Overall this camp was better than I expected. As part of the organising committee, I really think that the results of the camp was a lot a lot better than planned. With all the last minute planning, not-so-dedicated committee members, and lazy/irresponsible planning of certain committees, we really don't deserve such results. By its all God's Will that the camp was a blast.

As for the small details of certain activities, I'll leave it as memories for the PBSM members only. I'll try to upload pictures when I get them from Yoong Jie. Until then.... stay tuned!

Back From PBSM Camp

PBSM Camp in Broga can be sumarised in 1 word..

AMAZING!

The activities were good and participants were sporting. I'm sooooo worned out now. Muscles aching and moral project waiting for me to complete it.. I'll post about this camp probably tomorrow.. until then.. stay tune =)

CF Camp ~FloodGates~

As most of you know, WMS had its CF one day camp on the 23rd of June 2007. CF camp is held every year, organised by the CF of WMS. Well, I've attended CF camp ever since form1 and out of the 5years of CF camps, this year's camp is no doubt the BEST!

The Theme for CF Camp '07 is "FloodGates". The reference verse from which the theme came from is Malachi 3:10:

[Test me in this," says the LORD Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it.]

On earth, floodgates are gates to prevent water from pouring out in water damps. But FloodGates of Heaven means that Heaven stores lots and lots of God's blessing for us, and there will come a time when God will open up the FloodGates of Heaven and shower out all those blessings on us. So much that we wouldn't have enough room to store them =D

We were really blessed to have XYZ (Xtraordinary Youth Zone from DUMC) to lead us in worship. They were a great band and had a deep passion for God. Nontheless we had Pastor Andy Yeoh to share God's word with us. Ps Andy is the Youth Pastor for Acts Church and lead vocalist for Altered Frequency. He is a fun, energetic and youthful pastor, who really understand the thoughts and acts of youths now a days. For the first talk, he shared from the Parable Of The Lost Son from Luke13, with reference to the other 2 parables in the same chapter. He reminded me of how Christians seemed well and okay on the outside, attend church services regulary, does quiet time daily and worship God... BUT feeling lost inside of them. These group of people don't know their purpose in life and in God's plan for them. I got to admit I'm from that group and did not realise it until last Saturday. Pray hard for me that I'll be able to get back on the right track and have a closer relationship with God =)

After that we had a workshop by David Khoo who shared with us about sex and then prayer. We also had games and loads of fun through out the camp.

The best part of the camp is no other than the Night Rally. We were blessed to have Acts-treme from ACTS Church to lead us in worship. The atmosphere in the chapel hall was beyond words. People jumping and shouting and worshiping God with all their hearts, and I also felt God's presence. After which Pastor Andy shared God's word with us again. This time he shared with us from Luke19, Zacchaeus the Tax Collector. In the end of the talk, he challanged us to give our lives fully to God and allow Him to change us so that we may change other people. Together we can make a differences in the world out there.

Overall, this camp is indeed a great success as 3 new people has gained salvation. Which also means 3new people have been reborned into the big Christian family. =)

From this camp, I managed to witness God's faithfulness and grace. I pray that God will continue to pour out His blessings on the 3new people who have accepted him as their personal Lord and Saviour.

Jogathon

Its been a while since I last blogged, exectly 2 weeks to be precise. Since I cant really remember what has happened in the last 2 weeks, I shall just blog about the Jogathon in Taman Tasik Perdana last Saturday (10/2/07).

This project was organised by the Interect Club and Prefectorial board of Wesley Methodist School. I was incharge of safety and security together with SzeJian, Jethro and the PBSM members. So before anything started, JingHang took us around the route once to place interactors and PBSMers at stations to ensure no one gets badly injured or uses short cuts to cheat. So after a long walk around the route, I finally reached the gathering point again.

Right after Mrs Matthews finished her speech, I walked another round to make sure PBSM members are all set and ready. Half way walking, the race started. After that I walked another round to deliver goodie bags to PBSMers.

Thus, in total I walked 3 rounds!!

To cut the long story short, one parent trashed all our students. Shameful isn't it? Anyway, Kenji won 1st place for male students category and I forgot who won female students category >.<

There were 3 Professional PBSM people that came too. I managed to learn alot more about PBSM from them. Its really a great experience overall..
